Employee Due Diligence

What is Employee Due Diligence?

Hiring the wrong person can create financial, regulatory, and reputational risk. Regulators now expect businesses to apply the same rigour to staff as they do to customers.

 

WhiteLight AML’s Employee Due Diligence (EDD) service ensures every hire is properly verified giving you confidence that your recruitment process is safe, compliant and aligned with your AML Program.

Employee Due Diligence Unpacked

Our EDD service goes beyond basic CV checks. We verify the identity, background and professional integrity of employees before they join your business. Using advanced technology, candidates complete checks quickly and securely on their mobile devices, with most results returned in minutes. The process is frictionless for both employers and candidates, while ensuring every result is audit-ready and regulator aligned.

Checks can include identity verification, employment history, professional memberships, academic qualifications, sanctions and watchlist screening, and right-to-work status in Australia. Each package is tailored to the risk profile of the role and your industry, ensuring you meet AML/CTF obligations without overburdening your hiring process.

With WhiteLight AML, Employee Due Diligence becomes part of your overall compliance strategy. Our experts integrate the service into your onboarding workflows, helping you reduce risk, strengthen governance, and hire with confidence. By combining regulatory insight with advanced screening technology, we give you the assurance that your people are as compliant as your customers protecting your business from risk before it walks through the door.
